§ 24-69. Licensed private collector franchise fee and payment methodology.

(a)

The license for essential municipal service required pursuant to section 24-86 shall give each licensed private collector a franchise to collect solid waste within the city. The franchise fee shall be established by resolution of the city commission. Franchise fees shall be based upon the gross receipts methodology and are due and payable to the city by the twentieth calendar day of the month following the month within which such services were provided. Gross receipts shall not include taxes or payments from commercial enterprises for source separated recycling services and the amount of the city franchise fee when such are separately and accurately delineated on the billing statement to a customer. Each payment shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of the resolution adopted by the city commission.

(b)

Licensed private collectors who do not pay franchise fees when due shall be assessed a late fee of one (1) percent per month calculated daily on the unpaid balance of all fees due. The date of arrival at the city shall be used to determine the amount of late fee levied. Billings for late fees shall be calculated and billed monthly and are due and payable upon receipt. The minimum late fee bill shall be twenty-five dollars ($25.00).
